Library Mission

 Mission Statement

The libraries at Massasoit community college support the school's mission by providing inclusive resources, comprehensive information services, and an adaptive learning environment to foster the pursuit of lifelong learning. To that end, the libraries strive: 

  • To provide access to multimedia resources that support the information needs of the college community through the lens of diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging. 
  • To promote the library as an educational and cultural center for the college 
  • To empower through teaching both information literacies and the disciplinary skills needed across the lifespan 
  • To increase faculty and staff engagement with the library as both an educational center and an information resource 
  • To fortify our rich information environment with increased access to virtual resources, tools and circulating technologies

Massasoit Libraries Logo

The Massasoit Libraries logo is an essential backdrop to what we do and why we do it.

  • The logo represents the value expressed in our tag line: Where Ideas & Community Engage. We believe the library is a place to bring people together for connections, whether that is a personal, physical, or digital interaction.
  • Our logo is a unifying symbol representing library staff, services and events.
  • Our logo communicates our goal to provide excellent customer service and a safe and welcoming space for the community to engage with ideas and each other. 

Inspired by the Engage logo of the National Technical University of Athens, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Greece, the library staff received permission to create an adaptation that would represent the library’s commitment to community engagement. The interplay between the "i" images becomes a logo that is unique to Massasoit College Libraries and one that visually communicates the goals of our mission.
